“Everyone will have noticed how much easier it is to get hold of a painting, more particularly a sculpture, and especially architecture, in a photograph than in reality.”

– Walter Benjamin, ‘A little history of photography’ (1931)

Florence recognises the inseparable relationship between Architecture and photography. As a photographer, she is keen to explore and experience architecture through the lens. She believes this is a unique way to learn architecture and the urban environment from different perspectives which helps to unlock the creativity within us. Hence, Rebel-i was set up, the photography department under the wing of Rebel Arkitekt.

In this first chapter, Architectural Portrait is a showcase of how Florence perceives buildings as an artistic representation of a person.
